the ability to get pleasure out of the

The FIRST METHODIST.
A NEW AND HANDSOME CHURCH
EDIRICE TO BE ERECTED.
Partial Description Of the Structure.
Which viii Be Perfect in
Every Detail.

1t IL a cord sign Of the times in our
city that The facilities for moral i'm.
provement seem to bs keeping pace
with the general upward trend OF the
surroundings. School aud other pub.
lie buildings Of more massive aud pic
turesque appearance then any hereto.
fore ereete1 are going uD all around.
One OF the most important structures
that has ben projected fJr some time
is the First Methodist Church, corner
of Pc llar and Second strse.s, the con-
tract for which is now being let. The
old church standing there has been
looking dilapidsted for several years
for the reason that the congregation
determined not to spend another dol
lsr on its improvr ment Every slAt
that fell from the window shutters and
every piece OF plai ter from the wall
would but emphasis the necessity for
q new building. Could the old church
reveal the record of the lives of
many old citizens who worshipped
within its sacred walls and were car
ried from its Ionale, an inspiration
would be given to many of the
young generation to emulate their
sterling virtues. Only few members
who belonged to the church when the
old building was dedicated linger
within It's fold now.
Tue faithful old sexton, Bep jamin
Alternately, who saw the foundation
of toe present building laid, looks low
ingly each day at the old walls and up
al tie old belfry, from out Of which he
hss tolled the funeral knell OF nearly
all of the older generation. Aud yet
he is willing to let the old building 60
that the Lord may be honorsd by
new and more commodious house.
May the good and faithful old man
live to see lhs beauty aud comfort OF
the latter house.
The new building will be one story,
fronting on Second street, and easily
reached by few etone steps. 1t will
reach from Second street TO the ley,
aud from within few feet of Poplar
to within two feet of the old bdilding.
1t will have seating capacity Of 1900.
The pulpit will be in front, and the
floor will gently rise toward the rear.
About midway of the edifce
large sliding door,, easily moved, sspa-
rates the Sunday echool department
from the auditorium. In the Sunday
school portion there will be fifteen or
seventeen rooms for the most i'm.
proved class instruction. These rooms
radiate from the center, both from up
and down stairs. A gallery raking
i l.. L a
pit will encircle the entire building.
Underneath the Sunday school depart
ment there will be we'll fitted kitchen,
dining and toilet rooms, to be used for
social purposes. Taking il altogether,
1t will be something entirely new in
church architecture in this section Of
the country. and will not only serve
the CO gregation admirably, but will
prove quite an ornament to that part
of the city.

Ofcourse "reminiscences of Calhoun
have been rife for a month now. and
some of them are exceedlngly inter-
esting. A friend of mine heard a
good story from Mr.. Shillington, the
bookseller, whose name has for fifty
years adorned the old brick building
corner of 1.-THE Avenue" and -Four
and Half street. 1t was about the
statesman's last speech. 1t seems
that Mr.. Calhoun's health was SO pre-
carious.that he, as we'll as his friends,
felt that he must sooA end his labors.
He determined, then, to leave behind
him his doctrine in some enduring
form. His friends dissuaded him
from delivering the speech which
was to enbOdy his creed in
the Senate, SO he spoke it
in small room. to Sen
ator from Alabama as an audience OF
one, and it was taken down by
shorthand reporter. For hours the
aged orator poured forth his clear
aud eloquent words, till at last it
seemed that there was nothing more
necessary to make his political doc
trine clear to posterity. Perhaps he
made it too clear; perhaps it bore
fruit in the great national TRACE
dy. Remembering this the scene in
that chamber has an awful sublimity
viewed from the standpoint of today.
The speech was sent to Mr.. Shilling
ton, who printed it, and sold thou
sands of copies as soon as it had
been read in the Senate by Senator
Mason, of Virginia.
All this seems very long ago. The
cause and even the effect are rapidly
fading into the past. The bookseller,
then in the orgie OF early manhood,
is now in the decline of years. 1t is
but few years since the men who
knew personally this generation of
statesmen, the colleagues and COM
peers Of Calhoun, Clay and Webster,
were to be met with daily about
Washington. How long ago those
days of the triumvirate were may be
realized by the visitor to the Senate
Chamber, who sees the venerable
Druid like appearance Of Isaac Bas.
set with his long locks of silver, and
remembers that Daniel Webster
brought him to Washington a Iosy
checked page boy. 1t is not many
years since the men who knew, from
first hand, the traditions of George
Washington and the early incidents
connected with the laying out of the
capital city were to be found here
and in Georgetown. The latter re-
tanned traces of the traditional re-
sentiment felt by the inhabitants Of

his Country for the neglect Of their
interests in not choosing the nights
of the old town for the seat of the

and the picturesque town of Alexan-
